Way back when we had our 1000 Subscribers Celebration, I was sent 2 awesome games from Out of the Box . The first one, Backseat Drawing-I reviewed here {we still love it}. The next one, 10 Days in the USA-I saved until now as Pac Man is a bit older and it is more of an advanced game.

This game takes tons of focus and strategic thinking, even my brain was tired {in a good way}. It is recommended for ages 10 and up, Pac Man is almost 8. We just played it in a modified way and worked togetherer and it was awesome. I could really see his brain working as he explored the different ways to create a travel plan that would work for him.

It is an awesome game, the board alone is wonderful as a teaching tool itself even without the game! You could easily just use the board and cards to find the states! In our version of play this day, Pac man won the game!

Here’s the view of how Pac Man won {and yes, the cat helped a ton}…

Start in Texas, walk to LA {since it borders TX}, fly to GA {since they’re both blue}, drive to MO{since they share a bordering state}, walk to IA, drive to ND, walk to MT.

They also have different versions of this game, {Europe, Asia, Africa}, and so many other great learning games on their site, we love Apples to Apples also!

I couldn't pick just ONE game that I liked. I liked the following games from the Out Of the Box website: Letter Roll, Letter Flip, 10 Days USA (any geography game), My Word, Cloud 9, 7 Ate 9, Squint Jr., Wallamoppi, Zen Benders, and Mix-up. Even though my daughter is too young for most of these games right now ... I am sure that I could think of other ways to use them until she was old enough to play the correct way. I would LOVE to win the 10 Days USA game - we don't have a lot of geography or Social Studies materials at home. Tracey at Tot Playtlmswt2000@msn.com

Hi, I'm your newest follower.I recently went to a convention and saw these games and fell in love with them, but I can't afford to buy them all.If I could have just one I would get 10 days in Africa, we currently sponsor a child from there and would love to learn more about there culture and life over there. I beleive it would be more relatable for our children.
